A student has been jailed for blackmailing a 14-year-old schoolgirl into handing over family jewellery after threatening to release a video of her being ‘abused’ on Facebook.

The young victim claimed she was targeted for sexual exploitation by Mohammed Luqman, 18, over a period of months.

The Birmingham college student allegedly recorded her being sexually abused and later threatened to release the videos on social media, unless she stole from her family for him.

The terrified schoolgirl did hand over jewellery and her iPhone but later broke down and told teachers what had happened and police were called in.

Luqman, of Edgbaston Road, Balsall Heath, was arrested in early 2015 and last month pleaded guilty to two counts of blackmail, contrary to Section 21 (1) of the Theft Act 1968.

As well as the 14-year-old, he also admitted blackmailing a second young girl.

Luqman was sentenced at Birmingham Youth Court on November 4, where he received six months youth custody for each offence, to run consecutively.

He was also told to pay a £20 surcharge for each victim and ordered to stay away from the two girls for the next five years.

Despite now being aged 18, he was sentenced as a youth as the offences were committed when he was 16.

Yet the mum of the 14-year-old victim has hit out at the sentence and the fact no-one had been charged with any sexual offence.

She said: “It’s been horrible. When my daughter found out that no-one was being charged with any sexual offence, she was crying and screaming.

“My daughter said she would be taken to parks and was then told to get undressed. Yet she felt that police have not really believed her throughout.

“Barnado’s is helping her as is her support worker, while the neighbourhood police have been around every other week because she has been scared that people are following her and sending messages through social media. Continue reading →

RED-faced cops have had to pull an logo for an anti-Islamophobia campaign after it emerged it looked like an ISIS gesture.

Bedfordshire Police began using the logo, which shows a pointing finger, as part of a pro-tolerance scheme to back Islamophobia Awareness Month.

But today, just a day after launching the campaign, the force decided to retract it over fears after dozens took to social media to point out it looked like a gesture used by the murderous terrorist organisation.

Writing on its Facebook page, Bedfordshire Police said: “It has come to our attention the pointing finger logo used to illustrate social media posts around Islamophobia Awareness Month is similar to that used by ISIS.

“The logo was produced by a national organisation and was used in good faith.

“As a consequence and to avoid offence, Bedfordshire Police has deleted these posts and will not tolerate Islamophobia or any other form of hatred or discrimination.”

The logo was produced by the Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND) advocacy group.

We would leave it right there and let that sink in, but the Muslim group with the ISIS finger campaign wasn’t done. They defended it.

“We are disappointed that a campaign supported by thousands of British Muslims is being sullied in this way. We would strongly urge Bedfordshire Police to reconsider.”

When ISIS militants hold up a single index finger on their hand, they are alluding to the tawhid, the belief in the oneness of Allah and a key component of the Muslim religion. The tawhid comprises the first half of the shahada, which is an affirmation of faith, one of the five pillars of Islam, and a component of daily prayers: “There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

When ISIS militants display the sign, to one another or to a photographer, they are actively reaffirming their dedication to that ideology, whose underlying principle demands the destruction of the West. If rank-and-file soldiers are aware of the precise theological implications of their sign — and it would be no surprise if they are — that would be a sobering comment on their deep-seated opposition to pluralism.

Activist and documentary film-maker GITA SAHGAL, who has spent more than two decades investigating religious fundamentalism in Britain, reveals how sharia courts seek to undermine British law.

As a young British-Pakistani woman, Lubna faced an agonising decision. She was brought up a devout Muslim in a prosperous middle-class family in the north of England, but her arranged marriage to the father of her two children was a disaster.

He was both sexually abusive and physically violent; he and members of his family regularly beat up Lubna.

When he suddenly disappeared to pursue a new life in America with a new woman, she was left to work night and day to support his elderly parents until they threw her out of their house. [CS: How was this sexual predator allowed into the U.S.? Vetting process is clearly beyond broken]

…

Although at least one imam knew the horrific background to her marriage, a delegation from the mosque visited her family to persuade her to return. When that failed, the imam, an old family friend, put more pressure on Lubna to go to the sharia court.

To satisfy her devout Muslim mother, who was being intimidated by the wider Muslim community, she eventually went to the sharia court near London’s Regent’s Park. What happened there shocked her to her core.

Faced by a ‘bench’ of clerics who described themselves as ‘judges’, she expected to be able to describe her plight at the hands of her violent husband.

She told me: ‘The court was incredibly difficult. My mother and I were repeatedly told to be silent. None of the information from the civil proceedings, including non-molestation orders, was admissible in the sharia court.

‘When my ex-husband said he wanted a reconciliation, the [sharia]judges said I should comply.

‘I tried to tell them about the violence and abuse I had suffered throughout the marriage, but was advised to be quiet. My mother was also silenced.’ Continue reading →

I’ve been writing a book for a while. I have been to countless publishers. Those who replied told me how good it was, but…

Not one will print it. I know why. I’ll explain.

Beyond Terror is simply a no-holds-barred account of the enormous damage that Islam and Muslim immigration has done, and will continue to do, to Western society. I have given countless examples of how and why this is a simple statement of fact. I will show how Islam is bringing horrors to the West that are unprecedented in modern history. It has injected our civilization with poison – this poison is particularly potent for girls and women and anyone who demands the right to freely express an opinion. Islam is dragging the free West in to a nightmare and I will prove it.

I will also explain my own story in full; why I turned my back on Left-wing politics and now actively campaign against it. I will describe my entire journey from Labour feminist activism to standing for Parliament as a UKIP candidate. I will tell the story of the Mohammed cartoons, the police visits to my home and the effect of this on my private life, and the character assassinations I’ve endured at the hands of the toxic and totalitarian Left-wing – a Left-wing that has aligned itself with Islam because it sees this religion as the key to bringing down the West.

I’ll also describe in detail one of the most significant and alarming realities surrounding this issue – the collusion of the United States of America with Islam. This is an alliance that could well hasten the demise of democracy in the West. It is that serious.

I cannot self-publish this book as I simply cannot afford the legal fees involved. Rather hilariously, many people seem to think I am rich on the back of my work on Islam. On the contrary, I make nothing – no money whatsoever. I have also lost my legal career and am dependent on the kind donations of supporters to keep Sharia Watch going.

I do not make this appeal to ask for money, merely a few moments of your time. If you, like me, want Beyond Terror to be published, please follow this link and vote. If I receive enough votes, my book may be published.

A man has been forced to flee his home for the second time amid fears for his safety after suffering ‘seven years of persecution’ for converting from Islam to Christianity.

Dad-of-six Nissar Hussain, who appeared in a 2008 Channel 4 TV documentary about mistreatment of Muslim converts, was hospitalised last year after a brutal attack caught on CCTV in November.

Two hooded men, one armed with a pick-axe handle, assaulted him – leaving him with a smashed kneecap and a broken hand.

The 50-year-old and his family had been planning to leave their home in Bradford, West Yorks., for the past year, but this week armed police arrived and moved them to a safe place.

Mr Hussain said the culmination of the ‘extreme persecution’ had devastated his family and the dramatic arrival of armed police was a complete surprise.

He said: ‘My family are distraught and extremely traumatised to be leaving.

‘But when your life is at stake there is no other choice.’

Mr Hussain converted to Christianity 20 years ago, but says in recent years he has been subjected to harassment and violence by sections of the Islamic community, particularly after the documentary aired.

He said: ‘This extreme persecution by certain people in the Muslim community because we are converts has broken us as a family.

The younger children from both families attended the local Church of England primary school, where a majority of pupils were Muslims of Pakistani heritage, but car sharing trips were soon stopped by the other family.

Mr Hussain said ‘word was spread around the playground’ about them being Christian converts and their youngest daughter was bullied.

Youngest daughter Leena was told by her friends ‘our parents say we mustn’t mix with you because you are a convert.’ Mr Hussain said: ‘She was heartbroken and made to feel like a second class citizen.’

The family were denounced as ‘apostates’ – a term used for those who renounce a religion for another – which in some hardline Islamic countries is punishable with death.

Eight men who sexually abused three teenage girls in Rotherham have been jailed for a total of 96 years.

The attackers, who were all aged between 17 and 26 at the time, were found guilty of 19 offences last month, following a four-week trial.

Most of the charges relate to offences committed against a girl who was 13 when the abuse began in 2003.

Two relate to offences against two other girls, who were 14 and 15.

Sageer Hussain, aged 31, of Clough Road, Rotherham, was jailed for 19 years for four counts of rape and one indecent assault.

Sentencing him, Judge Sarah Wright said he had conducted a ‘campaign of violent rape’ against the vulnerable 13-year-old.

His brother Basharat Hussain, 40, already serving time behind bars for child sex offences, received an extra seven years to run concurrent to his current sentence, after being found guilty of indecent assault.

Their cousins, Mohammed Whied, 32, of Psalters Lane, Kimberworth, was jailed for five years for aiding and abetting rape and Asif Ali, 31, of Clough Road, was jailed for 12 years for rape.

Khaliq, 33, of Carlisle Street, Rotherham, jailed for 17 years for rape and three counts of indecent assault.
Waleed Ali, 34, of Canklow Road, Rotherham, jailed for 13 years for rape and indecent assault.
Masoued Malik, 32, of Bridgewater Way, Rotherham, jailed for 15 years for rape, false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit indecent assault.
Naeem Rafiq, 33, of Clarendon Road, Eastwood, jailed for eight years for conspiracy to commit indecent assault and false imprisonment.

Judge Wright said: “The childhood and adolescence of each of the victims can never be reclaimed.

“Each has suffered severe psychological harm. They continue, and will continue to suffer, considerable trauma throughout their lives as a result of your actions.

“I would like to take this opportunity to commend wholeheartedly the remarkable courage of all of the victims in this case.

“All three have shown immeasurable bravery in coming forward to give their accounts.”

An independent report found that 1,400 children were sexually abused in Rotherham by men of predominantly Pakistani heritage between 1997 and 2013 while those in authority turned a blind eye.

UK Board of Sharia Councils chairman Dr Ahmad Al-Dubayan said to the Members of Parliament unregulated and unofficial Shara law bodies are operating everywhere in the United Kingdom and it is not possible to find out exactly how many such councils are operating in the country.

Ahmad is based in Regent’s Park Mosque in London. He said in some of the cases even such councils are operating in small shops, probably hidden in the basement.

Some seven years ago a report published by a think-tank estimated about 85 sharia bodies are operative in the UK.

Addressing to the members of the Commons Home Affairs Committee Dr Ahmad said the true extent of Sharia councils is not known.

Sharia body supporters said complete ban on the bodies would lead to backstreet panels springing up further and those often charges higher fees for a religious divorce.

Labour MP for Bradford West, Naz Shah, said for many Muslim women the Sharia councils are a valuable source of help.

Shah was forced into marriage when she was just 15-year-old. She warned during a meeting that ban of Sharia bodies would be like throwing the baby out with the bath water.

She also added many Muslim communities feel the ban on Sharia bodies had an air of Islamophobia.

You have to take what Muslims say with a grain of salt, they are masters of reverse psychology. That said, throwing the baby and the bath water out is the only way to prevent sharia – and civil war – from spreading.
